A girl who a court heard was raped by a Derby shopkeeper when she was 12-years-old has been accused of making up a "pack of lies".

Dilan Amin, 27, is on trial at Derby Crown Court where he is charged with 14 offences against seven alleged victims, all of which he denies.

The girl Amin is accused of raping is now 17-years-old. Her recorded interview with police was played to the jury and she was then cross examined by defence barrister Tony Stanford.

Amin is accused of raping her in his flat next to the store he ran, the Famous Shop, on Pear Tree Road, Normanton.

Mr Stanford said: "Your account of being raped by Dilan is a pack of lies." She replied: "Who would be so stupid to make up lies about being raped? Do you think a 12-year-old would make stuff up about being raped?"

Prosecutor Ian West also asked the alleged victim questions. He said: "The last few years have not been easy, have they?" She agreed. He said: "You have told a few fibs and lies." She replied: "Twice."

Mr West said: "Today we are talking about a rape when you were 12. Nothing could be more serious." When asked if she was telling the truth, she replied: "Yes."

The alleged victim told the court she could not sleep the night before.

The court also heard from a nurse practitioner who gave evidence to say the alleged victim had visited her to say she had had unprotected sex with a Kurdish man. The nurse practitioner said: "Part of my role as safeguard lead is to ask about consent."

The woman told the court the alleged victim told her she felt she had been "forced to have sexual intercourse". The woman said: "I said because of her age we would have to report it as a safeguarding concern."
